Product description
Feelings Board – the Visual Symbol Tool to Understand and Communicate Emotions used Globally
Does your child find it difficult to understand how they are feeling, or communicate that to you?Do you often wonder how they are feeling, and long for a way to know for sure whether they are frustrated or sad, or excited or scared?Do you wish there was a way for them to learn to understand their emotions, and to communicate them to those around?
This is where our Visual Symbol Feelings Board comes in. It includes a color-coded scale of emotions with a ‘me’ symbol, together with a matching keyring so the system can be used while out and about.
Visual Supports Make Things Easier
There are many reasons why someone may struggle with verbal instruction – auditory processing disorder, slow processing speed, distractions, anxiety, sensory processing disorder, speech and language delays…
Visual supports help to remove these barriers to effective communication and open up a new, less confusing, world for the person.
Our Visual Supports are Used Globally
Recommended by the National Autistic Society
The NAS have long recognised the importance of visual supports. Here’s what they have to say:
“Visual supports are a communication tool that can be used with autistic people. They can be used in most situations, are adaptable and portable.
They can make communication physical and consistent, rather than fleeting and inconsistent like spoken words can be.”
Used the Same Symbols as Boardmaker Software
Boardmaker Picture Communication Symbols:
are used by millions of people globallyhave clear and concise: thick lines, no shadinghave been the most popular style for 30 years
We use the same Picture Communication Symbols (with permission, all rights retained), helping to ensure a consistent approach with what the person is already familiar with, and increase understanding.
Compatible with your existing PECs Symbol Library
The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECs) has been successfully used for decades to help millions of people.
It is a method of someone using images and symbols to communicate with those around them.
Our products use hook and loop fastenings, so are fully compatible with your existing PECs symbol library.
What Makes Our Visual Supports so Special?

Hygienic and easy to clean – simply wipe down with a non-abrasive cloth and hand soap.
Fully waterproof, and great to transport between settings to maintain consistency.
Durable and Long Lasting
Our products are all made from single sheets of plastic, with the images printed directly onto the plastic itself.
This means the symbols cannot split like many laminated versions do.
Won’t Tear or Crease
We use 1mm thick BPA-free plastic for all our products. They are semi-flexible, light and easily portable, yet remain strong and durable.
Unlike visuals made from card, they cannot be ripped, torn or easily creased.
Rounded Corners and Matte Finish
All our boards and symbols have been carefully machine die-cut to ensure the edges are smooth and the corners rounded. No scratches here!
Matte finish ensures no distracting glare.
